So the ever posted topic of changing the center console in the US from Piano Black to Ash Wood with a Clock is almost done. The only thing missing right now is the functioning clock, the dealer is doing the research right now and once the (custom)harness is ordered and in, the car will go back for install and coding.
I expected it to cost more, but it's still a little expensive
So how did you convince your dealership to order you the parts and install them?
I love the look of the Black ash with the Aluminum trim
and I think that the Aluminum trim door panels look better because they match the Burmeister aluminum
So what did you do with your original console, the Black piano? did you sell it? or did you trade it in for a lower price on the black ash?

Didn't really take any convincing. I spoke to them about what I wanted to do, did a lot of the research on my own and also with another dealership on the east cost. Gave them a lot of the part numbers and my dealer took care of the ordering.
I still have the old black piano and will most likely eBay it once my clock is functioning.
Good to see that you're getting exactly what you wanted !! Not a bad price considering you'll be sitting in the cabin each day now not regretting what you have !!!
At least now we know that there is a way to switch out if we really wanted to !!
can you please edit your first post and put in the part numbers and the parts?if you still have them
because I might consider doing what you did
and I don't to go through every single post to find it, So I would be easier if it was in the first post
Lol sure, later when I'm home. The original reason why I didn't, is that part numbers are very specific to your VIN(option packages). So what works for my car will not necessarily work for anyone else.

Happy to say the car went into the dealership this week and all the work is now complete, clock is working and center console conversion with clock is 100% complete
@waynezworld
Could you help me out here? I also try to exchange the center trim an add the clock.
What kind of harness / wires do I need additional for it to work?
